Katsu is a Japanese style crispy meat dish, often served with rice. We’ve done our spin on the traditional katsu by creating an ancient grains chicken katsu with brown rice and buckwheat (infused with Hainanese chicken flavours) accompanied by a light salad. It’s healthy, fast and incredibly delicious!
Tip: Tonkatsu Sauce is a thick tangy and sweet sauce used for many Japanese style recipes. It can be found at International isle of major supermarkets. You can make it at home by mixing 1/4 cup tomato ketchup, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp sugar and 2 tsp soy sauce.
